So even though aesthetics revolve around artistic qualities and sensibilities, the basic ingredients of your thinking are principles and feelings. So, we can mix these feelings principles to achieve balance, like a zen feeling. Applying this thinking to interpersonal relationships, we can mix the aesthetic principles and feelings of the world to create collective harmony. This makes a surprising amount of sense to me. It looks like you're high the H factor of DCNH. It also sounds like your enneagram tritype is 296.

My cognitive style? I tend to interpret the world in terms of how one thing effects another, and what conditions have to be met to achieve specific affects. Like in the thread I titled "Socionics Causing Relativism", I saw that socionics provides a condition for people to see things through the lens of relativism. Also, when I try to develop solutions for problems, I tend to devise one principle or idea that will achieve a lasting, overarching impact through time and space. And now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense why this style would be compatible with your style. I try to create things that yield maximum payoff, and if those things hold an aesthetic principle for you to incorporate, then it saves you a substantial amount of work. But yes, to give you an example, when I first entered the field of cyber-security, all I wanted to do was develop an everlasting security models that would do exactly what they were intended - whether the models were philosophical or practical, it didn't matter. Ne and Te probably work together to achieve a new kind of impact. Ti is heavily involved, too.

Don't worry about the time. Each response is worth the wait. I find it extremely easy to talk to you. Do you find it easy to talk to me?

Specific questions: when you synthesize information, what's it usually about? Is it really abstract? Is it concrete? How does the synthesis even happen? It's hard for me to even wrap my head around because I mostly think in terms of cause and effect, and I'm very terrible and synthesizing information. So I'm trying to figure out what causes your way of thinking.

FWIW, I think your kind of cognition has its perks in that it combines opposites; even if someone convinces you of something stupid, some other element will be mixed in to prevent rigidity in your thinking. You probably find a way out of old modes of thinking through an opposing viewpoints. You seem really smart to me.

At first, I was puzzled about your conclusion that ethical types have to keep things going, but now that I think about it, you have a strong point. You'd think that extraverts would seek energy from relationships, but it's the ethical type that desires interpersonal harmony. Harmony requires some amount of contact. Additionally, SEIs in particular bring stability to the table and anchor things with what I'd call "homeostasis." Si. Comparatively, they have to rein in the more distractable Ne dom and bring the relationship home, so to speak, if they intend to keep things going.

Lol don't trust the too weird to be true types, even if they are ILE. I had a friend who was probably LSI, but he was a pathological liar. Despite how imaginative ILE can be, pathological lying is a different cluster of things to watch out for. I mean, ILE does tend to bring out the weirdest shit possible, however improbable. But if it's not logical, just disregard it. You don't want to waste your time with someone who's too busy creating a network of lies to pay attention to you.

The way you describe your lazy friend sounds a hell of a lot like me when I was going through school. Sure, sometimes I took leadership positions when I was the best fit, but for the most part I just generated ideas and let others sort out the odds and ends. For example, during my junior year, I came up with this idea of a Jackalope trap, which of course, was presented as though Jackalopes were real creatures, capable of being lured by whiskey and cheese. Now that I think about it, the girl who worked with me on that project was probably Alpha SF, lol. But I'm sorry your friend didn't take more initiative.

You say you kept following your crush around - that's what I love about SEIs; they're dedicated and loyal. My senior year of high school, I dated an SEI who went to the church I attended, and she seemed to express traits of stability and dedication. To my own detriment, I had a shallow outlook, and dropped the ball because I didn't find her physically attractive. However, in hindsight, I think she would have made for a very devoted partner because she stuck around long after I flaked out. She often made her presence felt on social media for what seemed like months. Her consistency in this regard seemed almost to a fault because she wasted a lot of time not knowing to judge me for the flake I was. I, however, should have been more upfront with her about what I wanted. As a side note, she seemed to really enjoy listening to my abstract ramblings about the movie we watched. It was District 9. More amazingly, she seemed very gracious, despite how unreliable I was. No resentment or anything. Retrospectively, we would have made a great couple, based on the comfort level.

Embarrassing when rumors like that start going around, huh? In first grade, my best friend interrogated me about the crush I had. I placed my trust in him, told him, and he immediately ran off to inform the entire world. You were smart not to give your roommate the real name of your crush. Also smart to turn the situation to your advantage, as it started to involve the ILE.

You may also feel that you're practically reading their mind without much effort. Sometimes if you spend enough time with most individuals, it will start to seem that way, but duality is different in that it doesn't take much effort at all, especially if you're mentally healthy.
